Cost-effectiveness of a single-layer high compression bandage versus Unna's boot for venous leg ulcer treatment: the VENOS trial
In this study, SLHCB was cost-effective when compared with UB. These findings may prompt decision-makers to weigh the prospect of allocating an additional R$1.07 (I$0.42) for each percentage point reduction in VLU area or R$1739.13 (I$687.40) per QALY gained. This financial consideration holds significant implications for guiding resource allocation.
